Today, we inaugurated an administration that is both implicated in and indifferent to sexual abuse. As I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor, this lands hard. I doubt I’m alone.

I wrote two symphonies to help myself and others heal. I’m sharing them today. evanware.bandcamp.com/album/evan-w...

One of JRR Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching, or Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.

Or all three in a pile.
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

One day you’re young and wild, the next your 5 yo is telling you he can’t get his pants on because he’s a T. rex and his arms are too short.

Sigh, I got “mid.” Thus, Merriam-Webster’s totally random, completely meaningless word assigner managed to speak to my deepest fears.
Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026.

All my friends are like “here are the 137 books I read in Q4, not as many as I wanted, but there’s always next quarter” while I’m like “I made it through two hundred pages of this one book I’ve been working on since January… 2023”

Someone came up to me after a premiere and said my music was like Sibelius on steroids.

BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVER.
Forget insults, what’s the most unhinged *compliment* you’ve ever received?

Concerto for Trumpet and Strings, first movement double bar!

Now it’s off to the soloist for (probably copious) feedback 😂

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when I was six.

The dinner party, the heart-extraction-cum-dipping-in-lava scene, and the drinking-the-blood-of-Kali all… left an impression…
Name 1 movie from your childhood you were way too young to watch.

Absolute yep
Not for nothing but one of the reasons I'm glad I left Twitter is I kept getting in fights with someone I can only describe as the Will Stancil of contemporary concert music
